Fmr. CIA Director Hayden: Iran Nuclear Crisis Gets "Scarier" By: LIGNET.com / NewsMax.com / July 17, 2012 "Former CIA Director General Michael Hayden delivered a disturbing message during a LIGNET intelligence panel discussion on the serious threat a nuclear Iran poses to the United States. LIGNET's Special Iran Briefing. "'Every time you turn the page, it gets scarier,' the former CIA director said during the exclusive briefing provided by LIGNET, Newsmax's new global intelligence and forecasting online service. "This briefing has just beem completed and you can access the latest, best available information on this subject. "Joining Gen. Hayden for the online briefing were Arnaud de Borchgrave, famed journalist and a global threat expert with the Center for Strategic International Studies (CSIS), former CIA senior analyst and LIGNET managing editor Fred Fleitz. The briefing was moderated by Thomas Sanderson, a senior fellow with CSIS. "De Borchgrave offered a dire prediction when asked how oil prices will be affected by an attack on Iran, which has already threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil shipping channel. "And Fleitz says diplomacy is no longer an option. He says negotiations over Iran's nuclear program are 'in trouble' with 'no prospect for breakthrough' and Iran 'wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.' "Other topics addressed during the online event included: * What is the full extent of Iran's nuclear program * The reason the U.S. must make it clear 'we hold escalation dominance' * How soon could Iran have a nuclear weapon * Iran's policy to facilitate the killing of Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan * Will President Obama accept a nuclear Iran * Iran's close link to Hezbollah * When will Israel launch an airstrike on Iran * Iran's support of the Syrian regime and its brutal crackdown on rebels * A nuclear Iran leaves the world hostage to terror * How would Iran retaliate to an Israeli strike * Would such a response include biological, chemical or even 'dirty' nuclear bombs * What are the chances Iran will make a pre-emptive strike against the U.S. * What are the implications for the dollar, the euro, and gold * And more "If you missed this URGENT online briefing on a nuclear Iran, you can still see rebroadcasts of this cutting edge information. 2

Click Here To Read It All At War with Iran By: Alan Caruba / Canada Free Press.com / July 18, 2012 The ayatollahs have not ceased their quest for nuclear weapons capability. "'State TV said President Assad's brother-in-law, Assef Shawkat, and Gen Dawoud Rajha, the defence minister were victims of a blast during a high level security meeting. The Interior minister was also injured. Gen Shawkat was the deputy defense minister and was among the most feared figures in Assad's inner circle. He is married to Assad's elder sister, Bushra.' --The Telegraph (UK) July 18, 2012 "The best thing now for Syria would be a dead Bashar al- Assad and events are pointing toward that conclusion. The world has been watching the slaughter of Syrians by their own government as Bashar follows in his father's footsteps. "For now, using the covert skills of the CIA, the U.S. is providing arms to the Syrian rebels while the Saudis are picking up the costs. Recall that the U.S. provided similar assistance to the mujahadin who forced the Soviet Union out of Afghanistan. That conflict included the creation of al Qaeda and their appreciation was demonstrated on 9/11. "At this point, other than guarding their border with Syria, the Israelis are concentrated on the threat that a nuclear Iran poses. They are not alone, but the question remains whether the Obama administration would support an attack on Iran. "No matter what the outcome is in Syria, the Iranian leaders will at some point use nuclear weapons, most likely in an attack on Israel because their hatred of the Jewish State is irrational and because of their bizarre belief that they must bring about a global conflagration in order to secure the return of a mythical Twelfth Imam who will usher in a world under the domination of Islam."

It will become our war again. So let s stop sort of waving the sword and making these threats unless we re prepared to deliver, Brzezinski told Newsmax in an exclusive interview. I don t approve of the notion that we should be announcing who should step down from the position of a head of a state unless we are seriously prepared to remove that person. But if we are not, if we are being prudent and careful, then let s also be careful with how we talk, said Brzezinski, whose latest book is Strategic Vision: America and the Crisis of Global Power. The United Nations was scheduled to vote Wednesday on a new resolution calling for the end of the 17-month civil war in Syria. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called on Syrian President President Bashar al-assad to resign. He has refused to step down and has vowed to respond to threats against him with an iron hand. I m not so sure that blowing up Syria in the middle of a volatile Middle East tensions with Iran, uncertainties in Iraq, the residual resentment between the Israelis and the Palestinians whether it s a good idea to be rushing in with another conflict, Brzezinski said. Unfortunately, that means that we can t resolve the problem that quickly. I think it will take time. Perhaps what might work in Syria are so-to-speak free elections that permit people from the Assad regime to compete in the elections, he said. Otherwise, we are not really asking for free elections. We are asking for elections that ratify one spectrum of what is obviously a very divided society.

A war in the Middle East, in the present context, may last for years, Brzezinski, who served in the Carter White House, tells Newsmax in an exclusive interview. And the economic consequences of it are going to be devastating for the average American. High inflation. Instability. Insecurity. Probably significant isolation for the United States in the world scene, Brzezinski says. Can you name me any significant country that s going to be in that war together on our side? That s something no one can afford to ignore, Brzezinski adds. Story continues below. Brzezinski's warning comes as Iran apparently is ramping up tensions in the region. On Wednesday, a bus carrying Israeli youth exploded in a Bulgarian resort, killing at least six people and wounding 27, police and hospital officials said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it "an Iranian terror attack" and promised a tough response. Syria, meanwhile, a close ally of Iran's, appears on the brink of collapse as fighting engulfs Damascus. On Monday, a bomb killed the chief of its security operations a devastating strike that indicates a serious weakening in the security around President Bashar al-assad's regime. As the U.S. fortifies its presence in the Persian Gulf in preparation for a

PrintTemplate http://www.newsmax.com/printtemplate.aspx?nodeid=445804 2 of 4 7/24/2012 9:15 AM possible showdown with Tehran over its nuclear arsenal and its threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, Brzezinski paints a frightening picture of how the U.S. would be affected by yet another war in the Middle East. Rushing to war is not a wise course of action, he says. You can always start a war, and you know pretty much what happens when you start it. But you don t know how long it will last, what its consequences will be and they will be certainly very costly for the United States. Iran recently renewed its threats to close the Strait of Hormuz unless sanctions against it were revoked. Tehran has repeatedly threatened to close the vital oil-shipping channel, through which 40 percent of the world s seaborne oil exports travel, in retaliation for sanctions placed on its oil exports by Western nations. We would open it by force and we have the power to do it, and I m fairly confident we would do it, says Brzezinski, who now is Robert Osgood Professor of American Foreign Policy at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University in Washington, D.C.. His latest book, released in January, is Strategic Vision: America and the Crisis of Global Power. But let s not be simple-minded about it. We can open it up, but you can be absolutely certain that the costs of oil will skyrocket because it will still be a dangerous passage. In effect, the American taxpayer should be ready to pay $5 to $10 a gallon for the pleasure of having a war in the Strait of Hormuz, Brzezinski explains. This is another reason why it s a wise course of action to be prudent and patient. Time s on our side. He concurs with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak that Iran probably will not have a nuclear weapon for at least three years or so but, regardless, a Tehran with such arsenals is a major game-changer in the region. I think some concern is justified, but hysteria and exaggeration are not. Certainly, a nuclear-armed Iran introduces a whole new destabilizing reality into the Middle East. On the other hand, several years are several years. A lot can change in several years, including the regime which, if there is no confrontation with the West, is likely to be much more vulnerable to internal pressures for change. So we have to take this into account and not rush to war, he says. While many world leaders express concerns privately that Iran could make pre-emptive strikes against Israel and the U.S., Brzezinski said the chances of that, right now, are close to zero. First, their delivery systems are very inefficient and probably most of them vulnerable to elimination in the course of any attack. And, secondly, one thing you can say about the Iranian regime, it s not very attractive. Then, in a suggestive nod at Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Brzezinski adds: It shoots its mouth off. It says extreme things, which are

PrintTemplate http://www.newsmax.com/printtemplate.aspx?nodeid=445804 3 of 4 7/24/2012 9:15 AM actually costly to Iran, but it s not suicidal. Diplomacy is clearly the best weapon of choice now, Brzezinski says. A great deal depends on how accommodating the Iranians are in the negotiations but a great deal also depends on how intelligent we are in the negotiations, he says. If the negotiations are designed to humiliate Iran and to put it in some sort of separate box, confining it to a status totally different from all the other signatories of the nonproliferation treaty, then we probably will not get an agreement. And he says he would urge President Barack Obama to continue down this road. I will advise him to stay on course. Not to be intimidated. Not to be rushed. Time is on our side. We don t have to reach an agreement by some finite date, Brzezinski adds. We can take a few months. That s better than going to war. Brzezinski also says in his exclusive Newsmax interview: Any international response to Iran would, essentially, fall to the United States. Let s not kid ourselves. When people talk about taking on Iran by force, they really mean the United States. As U.S. involvement in Iraq nears its 10th year, Brzezinski still opposes it. We have now an Iraq which is much more vulnerable to Iranian pressure. Saddam Hussein was an odious dictator, but he was also a very effective opponent of Iran. He was also a very effective opponent of al-qaida. We now have an Iraq that s unstable. Despite the War on Terror, al-qaida remains a world threat: We have managed to decimate its leadership. We have deprived it of an open and secure base, which it had in Afghanistan. We have fragmented it. But at the same time, it is still a dangerous and painful reality that segments of al-qaida, cells of al-qaida now operate in different parts of the world. The United States, and other countries, remain vulnerable to a terrorist attack. We have had nine years or more, 10 years since 9/11. Not one significant terrorist act in the United States. We have had terrorist acts in Great Britain. We have had it in other parts of the world Spain, certainly the Middle East not in the United States. The United States must take another approach in Syria, rather than demanding that Syrian President Bashar al-assad step down to end the bloodshed there. Let s stop sort of waving the sword and making these threats unless we re prepared to deliver. I don t approve of the notion that we should be announcing who should step down from the position of a head of a state unless we are seriously prepared to remove that person. But if we are not, if we are being prudent and careful, then let s also be careful with how we talk.

The Telegraph (UK) July 18, 2012 The best thing now for Syria would be a dead Bashar al-assad and events are pointing toward that conclusion. The world has been watching the slaughter of Syrians by their own government as Bashar follows in his father s footsteps. Events dubbed the Arab Spring have forced dictators out of Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt, but left behind nations that are likely not much improved over their previous governments. Middle Eastern states are essentially groups of warring tribes and are divided by the schism between Sunnis and Shiites. The motivation for these uprisings is the widespread poverty throughout the Middle East and the fact that much of the population is quite young. It is a volatile combination. At this point, Bashar al-assad and the minority Alawite tribe that supports him are concentrated on simply surviving. It is a civil war not unlike Libya s. The earlier uprisings have inspired people to rid themselves of their dictators, but there has been no evidence that their replacements are in a mood to do anything but establish new governments to control the oil wealth that sustains much of the region. For now, using the covert skills of the CIA, the U.S. is providing arms to the Syrian rebels while the Saudis are picking up the costs. Recall that the U.S. provided similar

At this point, other than guarding their border with Syria, the Israelis are concentrated on the threat that a nuclear Iran poses. They are not alone, but the question remains whether the Obama administration would support an attack on Iran. Obama s animosity toward Israel could require them to wait in the hope of a new president by 2013. The Israelis have a track record. In the past, when they felt their survival was on the line they destroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor in the 1981 and a Syrian one in 2007. They have defeated their Arab neighbors in several wars since their founding in 1948. Technically the U.S. has been at war with Iran since 1979 when the Islamic revolution there included taking 52 American diplomats hostage for 444 days. They were released when Reagan took the oath of office in 1981. Iran has been the largest exporter of terrorism in the world since then. The ayatollahs have not ceased their quest for nuclear weapons capability and reportedly are closing in on the final stages. Meanwhile, they have developed missiles that could reach Israel, Europe, and even the U.S. Iran is this generation s equivalent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s. No matter what the outcome is in Syria, the Iranian leaders will at some point use nuclear weapons, most likely in an attack on Israel because their hatred of the Jewish State is irrational and because of their bizarre belief that they must bring about a global conflagration in order to secure the return of a mythical Twelfth Imam who will usher in a world under the domination of Islam. Despite the inevitability of a nuclear war no one directing the affairs of this nation and others really wants to face the truth of this or, at least, discuss it in public. It explains, though, why the U.S. has moved a fleet of warships in and near the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint of the Persian Gulf and is building other military assets in the Gulf States. How much of a military remains after the automatic sequester of Defense Department funding depends on the forthcoming election and the capacity of Congress to do anything sensible. For now there are wars and rumors of war, and the world remains a huge insane asylum. Alan Caruba, 2012 Alan Caruba Bio Alan Caruba Most recent columns Alan has a daily blog called Warning Signs.

Earthquake So much is happening, we barely look up anymore Colorado Indiana Italy Africa The Sun The Sky J ULY IS THE MONTH WHEN THINGS MAKE A CHANGE. JUST PAST the solstice at the end of June, summer arrives and the planet makes a slow wind-down to the other end of its orbit around the sun. As sundown each day creeps slowly down the clock, we in the northern hemisphere look forward to cooler months! Things have gone on like this for millennia but somehow things are just a little different. For as long as we have kept records, there have been natural disasters on the planet; in the past couple of decades we ve even had opportunity to see a few extraterrestrial events. In the past we had the luxury of witnessing earthly catastrophes from a safe distance. But now there are more than 7 billion people sharing the air, and every time the planet sneezes, someone feels the breeze. Fires on the planet, usually caused by lightning, have been a regular part of the landscape wherever there has been combustible material to burn. But now when a forest fire breaks out, many, many lives are affected as homes are consumed in moments. It s the same with floods and earthquakes: just part of life on our rock.

Card # Speaking of solstices, the one at the other end of this year, December 21st, is a date the world (at least some of the world) is watching with expectancy. Most are finally agreed that this year s Christmas Season is not likely to be the end of the world, so we can tentatively breathe a sigh of relief for now. But what if it were to be the end of the world? Suppose you had access to some prophetic calendar that assured you that there would be no working for souls after a certain date, how would you handle your affairs leading up to that date? It s true that trying to sell tickets to a game is a little ineffective until closer to the event, but wouldn t you feel better if you had made some effort to at least announce the event ahead of time?
